Hey. I made an review of this laser before but at that point it was broken. So i bought a new one

In this review i will review a laser pointer from ebay. It claims to be around 5mw. Its 532nm and has an aliminium body. It has a built in battery so you have to charge it with a usb cable.

The actual test
So i made a distance test in when it was daylight. It could be seen at round 500-1000 meters away but at this point i pointed at a house with a black roof and the beam isnt that visible on black roofs or red.
The beam was kinda visible in the daylight if you looked at the lasers view.


Shipping and Packaging.
I bought 2 laser pointers (532NM in black casing) so i recieved the first after around 15 days but the second didnt come after over 30 days. I think it got lost in the mail. It came in black bag and the laser was shipped in bubblerap.

The laser pointer seems to me far more that 5mw i would bet at around 20-50 mw. I was so stupid to point it at my camera on my phone and it actually burned something in the camera so now i have like purple marks on the pictures i take

Thanks for the review. Those little penlasers are always a good intro to the hobby.

Be careful with that eBay 532nm Laser. At that price
it will have no IR filter and be quite a bit more powerful
than 5mW...
Since it is cheap... also be careful that the Laser does
not go "Samsung" on you while it is charging. I would
stay nearby while charging.

I had to laugh at that myself. Jerry, you may have coined a new phrase around here! ;)
In all seriousness though, I do like S7 very much also.

Sorry for the thread derailment fojumdk, thanks for the 532nm pen review!
